When Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Needed in KPHB?
A swollen cheek that does not settle. A wisdom tooth pressing against its neighbour. Difficulty opening the mouth after a weekend cricket injury. These are the moments patients near HITEC City and Cyberabad call us first. Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers problems of the jaw, face, and mouth that go beyond what a routine filling can fix.
- Persistent jaw pain or clicking that limits how wide you can open your mouth
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing repeated gum infection or pressure on adjacent molars
- Facial swelling that returns after antibiotics from a general dentist
- Accident or sports trauma to the jaw, cheekbone, or teeth requiring realignment
- Cysts or growths in the jawbone picked up on an X-ray during a check-up
- Difficulty chewing or speaking because of misaligned jaws
- Pre-implant bone assessment showing insufficient ridge height or width
Only a clinical examination and an X-ray, sometimes a CBCT scan, confirm whether surgery is the right path forward.
Simple Extraction vs Surgical Extraction
The difference is not the tooth alone. It is what surrounds it. A fully erupted tooth with straight roots comes out in one piece. A broken tooth, an impacted wisdom tooth, or one fused to the bone needs a surgical approach.
- Simple extraction: the dentist loosens the tooth with an elevator, then removes it with forceps; no incision needed
- Surgical extraction: the surgeon raises a gum flap, removes surrounding bone if needed, and may section the tooth into pieces
- Anaesthesia depth: simple cases need local anaesthetic only; surgical cases may need deeper sedation depending on complexity
- Recovery time: simple extractions typically heal in 3 to 5 days; surgical sites often need 7 to 14 days
- Stitching: simple extractions rarely need sutures; surgical closures use dissolvable stitches
- Follow-up: simple cases may not need review; surgical cases get a 7-day check to assess healing
How Partha Dental Performs Surgery
- Book a consultation at the KPHB branch or call 090306 22077 for the Hyderabad line
- The surgeon takes a digital X-ray or CBCT scan to map the tooth, bone, and nerve paths
- You receive a written treatment plan with the procedure steps, anaesthesia options, and risks explained
- The surgeon administers local anaesthetic; deeper sedation is arranged only if clinically indicated
- The team uses a sterile surgical kit, rubber dam isolation where applicable, and strict instrument sterilisation
- The surgeon performs the extraction or jaw procedure, then places sutures if the site requires closure
- A nurse gives you written aftercare instructions and schedules a follow-up appointment for stitch removal or healing review
What to Expect During Recovery
Swelling peaks at 48 hours. It is normal. Bruising may appear on the cheek or neck. Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed medication for 2 to 3 days.
- First 24 hours: bite on gauze for 30 to 45 minutes; avoid rinsing or spitting to protect the clot
- Days 2 to 3: apply ice packs 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off; sleep with your head raised
- Food: stick to soft, cool items like curd rice or mashed banana; avoid seeds, nuts, and very hot liquids for 72 hours
- Oral hygiene: start gentle saltwater rinses after 24 hours; brush carefully, avoiding the surgical site
- Activity: avoid gym, swimming, and heavy lifting for 5 to 7 days to prevent bleeding
- Smoking: stop for at least 72 hours; nicotine delays healing and raises dry socket risk
- When to call: if bleeding soaks through gauze after 4 hours, pain worsens after day 3, or fever rises above 101°F, phone the branch directly
What Happens If Surgery Is Delayed?
An impacted wisdom tooth does not resolve itself. The gum flap traps bacteria. Infection spreads into the cheek or neck spaces. A jaw cyst left alone expands, thinning the bone until it fractures under normal chewing force. Misaligned jaws place uneven load on specific teeth, leading to premature wear or root cracks. Early surgical assessment limits these risks. The surgeon can then plan a controlled procedure rather than an emergency intervention.
